About
Tchaikovsky Hostel Split

There's also a sun terrace, a garden, and a laundry service, plus paid airport shuttle and car hire if you need them.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Quiet old-town location — On a quiet street just behind Split's walled Roman city, close enough to walk everywhere without the noise.
- Helpful, attentive staff — Guests repeatedly mention staff who go out of their way – sightseeing tips, fast email replies, and a welcoming atmosphere.
- Clean, comfortable dorms with real lockers — Rooms are kept spotless, beds are comfy, and lockers are big enough to stow a full suitcase, not just a backpack.
- Good value — Prices are reasonable for the location and the quality on offer – reviews call it good value for what you get.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic facilities — Facilities rating sits at 6.0, notably lower than other categories – expect a simple hostel, not a hotel-style lobby or fitness center.
- Shared bathrooms — Some female guests noted limited showers and toilets, though they added they never actually had to wait.
- Can be tricky to find — The hostel sits inside an apartment block on a quiet side street, and a few guests said it was challenging to locate on arrival.
- No pets — Pets are not allowed on site, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
